A Glimpse Into My Cigar Adventures!

A La Gloria Cubana Media Tiempo, a Karl Malone Cigar and a Diesel Crucible

Last Sunday we were dropping off our grandkids at their house, and stopped in to the nearby Wooden Indian Tobacco Shop for a quick little shopping trip. Up until very recently, the Wooden Indian was only doing curbside service, so it had been nearly eighteen months since I’d been in the store. Dan and Deanna were working the store, and left us to browse the large walk-in humidor.  I managed to find a few cigars I hadn’t smoked yet and smoked a few of them this week.… Continue reading »

More Ortega Cigars: The Jalapa, M3 and Cubao

I worked on finishing off the Ortega sampler that I ordered, so far I have my favorites, and I still have the Serie D Connecticut yet to smoke (I’ll probably smoke it today).

The Cult cigars were made for Quality Importers, where, ironically, Eddie Orega spent a short time working, which may explain his association with the TACASA factory. I started out with the Jalapa Habano… Continue reading »

A Few Ortega Serie D Cigars

As I mentioned in my Sunday post, Ortega Cigars is a new partner on the site. I purchased the sampler that’s featured in the ad that’s running currently, and it arrived promptly. It’s an amazing deal, I almost feel guilty recommending it, as it must be a big losing proposition. Anyway, Like I said before, I’ve known Eddie Ortega for many years. I believe I met Eddie at a local shop here when he had a 601 La Bomba Event, back when they were made by Pepin Garcia. It was about ten years ago because my then 21 year old son was with me and he had his first taste of Zacapa rum courtesy of Eddie.… Continue reading »

Black Lion Luxuries Cigar of the Month Club for April

I am still catching up on the Black Lion Luxuries Cigar of the Month Club offerings. This week I smoked through the April pack. Once again, Ron and James have done a great job of selecting four nice cigars at a great value. Once again, I’m not going to give a paragraph to each cigar, but I am going to hit some highlights!… Continue reading »
